Homeowner suggestion: has a long tarp to put up to the top and put it down the dumpster, create a slide, blow it with leaf blower machine. If you Have push broom for big clams

✅ 1. Clean the roof first (no repairs until it’s clean)

You already know how to remove the shells safely:

• Soft broom
• Air blower on LOW
• Pick up by hand
• No scraping

Once the surface is clean, you can actually see the membrane.

✅ 2. Inspect the membrane for damage

Look for:

• Cuts
• Punctures
• Loose seams
• Blisters
• Cracks around the chimney base
• Cracks around the satellite mount

If you want, send me a close‑up photo and I’ll tell you exactly what type of roof it is (EPDM, torch‑down, TPO, etc.) and what repair it needs.

✅ 3. If the membrane is EPDM (rubber roof)

Use:

• EPDM patch kit
• EPDM primer
• EPDM cover tape

Steps:

1. Clean area with EPDM cleaner
2. Apply primer
3. Apply patch tape
4. Roll it with a hand roller

✅ 4. If the roof is Torch‑Down / Modified Bitumen

Use:

• Cold‑applied roofing cement
• Polyester fabric
• Granule‑surfaced patch

Steps:

1. Apply roofing cement
2. Embed polyester fabric
3. Add another layer of cement
4. Sprinkle granules

✅ 5. If the roof is TPO or PVC

These require:

• Heat‑welded patches
  This must be done by a roofer with a heat gun — not DIY.

✅ 6. Seal around penetrations

The chimney and satellite base are common leak points.
Use:

• Polyurethane roof sealant (NOT silicone)
  Brands: Henry, Karnak, Black Jack

Apply around:

• Chimney flashing
• Satellite mount
• Any exposed fasteners
